- Reported result
- @Mercurion5d reports a code-free heating setup with seven daily schedule slots, four away levels, per-window radiator cut-offs, sensor corrections and thermostat recovery logic.
- Human involvement
- The user requested a diagram and says he wrote no code. The post does not describe access setup, approval of individual heating changes or an independent test.

How the agent did it
- The poster describes Grok Bot building the household heating logic without him writing code.
- The resulting rules use daily schedules and four distance-and-time away levels.
- Window sensors cut off the corresponding radiator and room sensors correct thermostat readings.
@Mercurion5d asked Grok Bot to draw how the household heating worked and was surprised by the extent of the system it had built. The post describes seven schedule slots per day, four away levels based on distance and time, and home-office detection for his wife. He says he did not write a line of it.
The heating rules combine occupancy with room-specific controls. Each open window cuts its own radiator, while room sensors correct thermostat readings. The poster also describes self-healing when a thermostat drops out. Scout's supplied diagram description adds recovery triggers for a thermostat coming back online or a setpoint being changed by hand.
This is an account of Grok Bot building automation logic, not proof that a conversational agent makes every heating decision at runtime. The Home Assistant rules are the resulting system. The source does not explain how the bot accessed Home Assistant, and its closing request for a connector should not be turned into evidence that one was used.
The text reports seven schedule slots, although the supplied diagram description lists eight trigger times. This entry follows the text's stated count without resolving that discrepancy. No heating-bill saving, energy measurement or approval policy for individual changes is reported.

Frequently asked questions
How did Grok Bot connect to Home Assistant?
The post does not say. It asks about a possible Home Assistant connector, so this account does not establish a connection method.
Did an agent run every heating decision?
The account attributes building the logic to Grok Bot. It does not establish that an agent, rather than the resulting automations, runs each heating decision.
Are the schedule counts consistent?
The text says seven daily slots; Scout’s supplied diagram description lists eight trigger times. The discrepancy remains unresolved.
More details
Remaining steps
- Recovery rules address thermostat drop-outs and, in the supplied diagram description, manual setpoint changes.
- The user asks Grok Bot to draw the heating system so he can see how its rules fit together.
About this account
Grok Bot reportedly built the heating rules and produced a diagram on request. The resulting Home Assistant automations handle the recurring controls; runtime agent intervention is not established.
